I started to pick up some blue-quality recipes in early Stormhaven, but I ~think~ I also got some blue-quality (level 15) recipes in the Daggerfall BANK. Of course, my provisioner hit max skill 50 using level 5 green quality recipes I looted early on. Tedious? Yes, yes it was. But, still, she's DONE, now. I can spend skill points to allow her to do more, as she gets the skill points (level 10 character)... but I don't have to wait to get the skill raised (unlike every other craft, most particularly Enchanting *cough*).

In short, I dunno if finding recipes of a given level depends on YOUR level, or the level of the area you're in, or if it even matters. In Early Access, I looted a Veteran-Rank-5 recipe, although I think I read a post that THAT kind of advanced recipe dropping in the newbie area was a mistake.

My most prized recipe --- for which I have neither the skill nor the ingredients --- is SWEETROLL.

The drop tables for provisioning recipes were broken during EA and veteran ranked recipes were dropping for everyone, everywhere.

I'd also like to point out that people in this thread seem to be mixing up recipe level and rarity. Just like other crafting skills, recipe level and the color of the recipe name are two different things - the color denotes rarity. Usually more rare recipes use more ingredients and provide better buffs versus less rare recipes at the same level.

I'm just looking for increased recipe "level" and variety, so I can use up some of the new food I've been hoarding.

When you get to Wayrest, take the boat across the bay and back. With Provisioning in the 20's I got new recipes in both areas. And that plantation by Wayrest had an Enriched recipe that I use all the time for my char now b/c it helps two stats at once. Was glad to get that one!

Oh awesome, thank you! I haven't quite made it up there (keep getting distracted by random quests in far off corners), but now I may swing up there real quick just to try that out.

For what seemed like a long time I had nothing but level one andlevel 5 recipes. Then about the time I hit level 15 or so my recipes went to level 10, 20, and 25. Once I hit those recipes it took no time at all to max out provisioning.

Did I do anything weird to gain those recipes?

Actually no. I kept looting the same cabinets and chests in the starter area. Eventually I gained those and 9 of the 10 normal crafting motifs.
